The most important life - giving substance in the body, and one that the body desperately depend on, is water. In the soft tissues - muscles, liver, kidney, the intestines - 75 percent of the volume of the cells is water. The brain cell is said to be 85 percent water. The first impact of dehydration is felt by the brain cells; they are very sensitive to water loss from the body and their function would be affected by even minute changes in their water contents. Since all nerve transmissions depend in a major way on the hydroelectric energy of water, insufficient water intake can also cause a chronic fatigue state of the body.
Imagine that a dry mouth is the only indication of thirst; chronic pain also is often an indication of regional thirst, particularly in rheumatoid arthritic joints of the hands, knees.
The daily routine of the body depends on a turnover of about 40,000 glasses of water. The body recycles this volume of water in 24 hours, but at the end it needs a minimum top up of about six glasses in 24 hours. Tea, coffee, cold drink and alcohol are not to be considered as water; these are drying agents, and they force water out of the body.
